SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured, systematic methodology for debugging issues within the HiveMind v3.0 Relational Cognitive Engine, ensuring that root causes are identified before any fixes are applied.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence Gathering: Utilizes commands like read, glob, and grep to capture failure signals and identify the scope of the problem.
  • Root Cause Investigation: Employs scan_hierarchy, recall_mems, and hivemind_inspect to check for known solutions, analyze context drift, and trace data flow.
  • Hypothesis Formation & Verification: Guides the agent in stating hypotheses and then applying minimal fixes, followed by rigorous verification.
  • HiveMind-Specific Patterns: Includes tailored approaches for debugging hooks, commands, session/state, and test suites.

Quick Start

Activate this skill when test failures occur and use the provided commands to gather evidence and investigate the root cause.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the root cause of test failures in HiveMind v3.0?

Debugging HiveMind v3.0 session state issues requires tracing data flow with hivemind_inspect to analyze context drift and verify minimal fixes, ensuring no changes are applied without prior root cause analysis.

What is the best way to debug HiveMind commands and hooks systematically?

You can debug HiveMind hooks and commands by utilizing tailored debugging patterns that capture failure signals through read, glob, and grep, guiding agents to form hypotheses and apply verified minimal fixes.

How do I investigate context drift and trace data flow in the HiveMind cognitive engine?

Investigating context drift in the HiveMind cognitive engine uses scan_hierarchy and recall_mems to check known solutions and analyze data flow, ensuring precise root cause identification before any fixes are applied.

Does this debugging methodology prevent applying fixes without prior root cause analysis?

Yes, this systematic debugging methodology ensures no fixes are applied without prior root cause analysis by enforcing a structured process of evidence gathering, hypothesis formation, and rigorous verification using HiveMind-specific commands.

What commands are used for evidence gathering during HiveMind troubleshooting?

Evidence gathering during HiveMind troubleshooting utilizes read, glob, and grep commands to capture failure signals, identify the scope of the problem, and check for known solutions before forming debug hypotheses.
